I want font embedding to be enabled today.

This is my report on the subject.

Font embedding is necessary.

I am also removing the "implied authority" from those who think they can
stop myself or others from implementing this function.

It's been stated:

"A completely open development process means that anyone can enhance the
software."

I am now going to use the idiots in this organisation who get in my way as
feet wipes, and I am going to make font embedding happen.

And I will not stop until this has been achieved.

This is what I think of the crap that goes on in these organisations:

May I suggest you learn about apostrophes first?

Don't you have anything else to do with your otherwise worthless life? -
except ask stupid questions?

Please keep this clean people.

If you want font embedding done today, then use CUPS-PDF for Linux and doPDF for Windows to get a sharable file that has the fonts embedded.

If you thing that something like font embedding can be included, in a package as large as LO, over night then you do not know about how hard such things can be and how long it can take.

If you just want to wine and pout about something, go somewhere to do it since this is a list that tries to help others, not offend them. This goes to all parties in this thread.

How about some help, not crap?

Go fuck yourself.

Fortunately, my top-posting mail client does have an easy "block sender"
action. Also fortunately, this list sends out posts as if they are
actually from the sender, so this is easy to do.

I haven't blocked the fellow from the list. Only a moderator here can do
that and I am not one of those. I just don't have to see anything from
that e-mail address in my own in-box any more.

Hi,

I am also removing the "implied authority" from those who think they can
stop myself or others from implementing this function.

Please be our guest. Code contributions will always be considered.

I am now going to use the idiots in this organisation who get in my way as
feet wipes, and I am going to make font embedding happen.

And I will not stop until this has been achieved.

So we can expect your first code commits by the end of this week then eh? Splendid !!

Hi :slight_smile:
I think it's a 2nd email account belonging to the same person that got blocked a few months ago and suddenly re-materialised a few days ago.

It's good to have people that feel so passionately about LibreOffice & OpenOffice although that passion is a bit wasted at the moment.  Perhaps if he joined OASIS then he could help get font embedding added to the ODF spec.

I think the problem is with the spec rather than with the implementation.  Perhaps that might change now there is such a dynamic force driving the OpenOffice/LibreOffice project forwards.  TDF is not going to be able to fix the problems of the preceding decade overnight but it is working at pushing things forwards across the board.

The merits and demerits of embedded fonts can be discussed by anyone who
feels a need for them.
Italo Vignoli has already explained the present situation.
The "Gentleman" does not appear to accept it.

More to the point. Personal abuse and profanities are not open to
discussion.
They should be ignored and the user removed.
